So I made the mistake of looking up my score on the Body Mass Index. I have lost 38 pounds. From 223 to 185. I still rate as “obese” (less obese than before, but still…) Dammit. I have a doctor’s appointment sometime soon to be retested for the high cholesterol and the prediabetes. I want…

Tis The Season…
Well, party people, as I’ve said before, I work in payroll for a small company (~1700 employees total). And guess what’s due to each and every one of them postmarked or otherwise delivered no later than January 31? Why, W-2 forms, of course. So (there’s that “So” again…), that’s what I’ve been up to this…
Someone…
got here by searching for “untreated liver cancer.” I know you’ll never make it back to my blog, but I’m going to say this, just to have it out there in the world: I am so, so sorry.
The dangers of lip-synching
Gene’s morning meeting begins with music. Actually, what he does is turns the iPod to something non-threatening (this is a concern as his iPod play list includes a lot of songs that are typically under the banner of “Pole Anthems”) and cranks it up. Today’s first selection was “Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl” (speaking of,…
I Have So Many Things I Want to Tell You!
I couldn’t get to my blog the last two days. Ugh. Apparently, Gene rebooting the wireless internet (or something – there are a lot of gizmos in his office) fixed it. Wheee! Anyway, I can finally see pictures on blogs, I can get to my blog and I have a better than average chance of…
Two Hour Delay, please
Cheesecake City finally has some shitty weather and what does my employer do about it? Not a damn thing. I keep calling and checking my voicemail in vain, hoping our HR Director (Old Boss) leaves the voicemail that says “Meh, it’s icy outside, come in later”. However, she 1) Has a 4×4 Jeep and 2)…
The 10,000 Steps
So, the brainiacs at the Diabetes Center told me I should walk 10,000 steps a day. I said, I walk 1.6 miles a day. Isn’t that like 80,000 steps? Turns out it’s only 4300-ish. Arrrgh. Why don’t doctors realize that before I embraced the whole “no chocolate*, no soda+, more water, more walking” lifestyle that…
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis?
So, recently Gene has been hopped up about wanting to visit St. Louis, MO. It was a real puzzle to me. Why St. Louis? It’s around 16 hours away and I wasn’t especially excited about taking vacation time to go there. And for some reason, he was insistent upon visiting over one specific time period…
Things that don’t happen in nature
I went to Target this week and spent $0. Not a thin dime. Really. I’m a little worried – I have Gene basically convinced that Target has a $50 cover charge. (Don’t worry – I’m sure that Gene spent that much at the gun store anyway…we now have a laser sight on one of the…
Even randomer thought
Love the lovely Slanket. I wish I could take it to work because I just found out that my work day is going to SUCK even harder than I expected. And a blanket and/or vodka would help at least a little. Light candles for me, OK?
